RECEIVERS THIRD MOTION FOR INTERIM APPROVAL OF FEES AND EXPENSES
Robb Evans & Associates, LLC (the Receiver), in its capacity as court-appointed receiver over the assets of Kevin Trudeau and the Trudeau Entities, respectfully submits this third interim fee application seeking approval to pay fees and expenses of the Receiver and professionals retained by the Receiver, including legal fees. In this application, the Receiver seeks approval of fees and expenses incurred during the period from January 1, 2014 through May 31, 2014 (the Third Interim Period). In further support of its motion, the Receiver states as follows: BACKGROUND 1. On August 7, 2013, the Court entered the Order Appointing a Receiver and Implementing Ancillary Relief [Dkt. # 742] (the Receivership Order) appointing Robb Evans & Associates LLC as receiver over the assets of Defendant Kevin Trudeau (Trudeau), the Trudeau Entities, and any affiliates or subsidiaries thereof controlled by Trudeau or any Trudeau Case: 1:03-cv-03904 Document #: 865 Filed: 07/07/14 Page 1 of 13 PageID #:15740 GIN Network Truth (the smart group) 2
Entity. 1 In appointing the Receiver, the Court adopted the FTCs recommendation that any such receiver should be a forensic accountant with asset-tracing experience. 2. Under the Receivership Order, the Receiver was authorized to retain attorneys and other professionals that the Receiver deemed advisable or necessary in the performance of the Receivers duties. (Receivership Order at V(6).) Pursuant to such authority, the Receiver retained the law firm of Hiltz Wantuch & Zanzig LLC (HWZ) to represent the Receiver and assist it in carrying out its duties in the matter. The Receiver has also obtained specialized counsel as appropriate and necessary to advise it regarding specific issues that have arisen. 3. Pursuant to the terms of the Receivership Order, the Receiver and its professionals are entitled to reasonable compensation for the performance of duties undertaken pursuant to this order and for the cost of actual out-of-pocket expenses they incur. (Receivership Order XII(1).) If approved, such compensation is to be paid first from assets recovered pursuant to the Receivership Order, and then, if necessary, from the Escrow Account described in the Receivership Order. (Id. at XII(4) & (5).) 4. On November 21, 2013, the Court granted the Receivers First Motion for Approval of Fees and Expenses covering the period from August 7, 2013, through September 30, 2013, approving the Receivers professional fees of $289,405.40, out-of-pocket expenses of $17,869.92 and HWZs legal fees of $42,486. 5. On March 19, 2014, the Court granted the Receivers Second Motion for Approval of Fees and Expenses covering the period from October 1, 2013, through December 31, 2013, approving the Receivers professional fees of $246,315.50, out-of-pocket expenses of $15,030.12, and legal fees and expenses of $76,770.16, which includes $9,419.99 to

Liechtenstein and Australian law firms who assisted the Receiver with its investigation of overseas accounts. 6. In this Motion, for the Third Interim Period, the Receiver seeks approval of its professional fees totaling $239,651.95 and out-of-pocket expenses of $50,455.79. In addition, the Receiver seeks approval of legal fees and expenses totaling $117,628,27, consisting of fees and expenses of $98,620.45 to HWZ; $18,265.32 to McKenna Long & Aldrigde LLP who provided additional assistance to the Receiver in connection with the sale of the GIN Assets; and $742.50 to Meridian Lawyers the Australian law firm that assisted the Receiver with certain overseas accounts. 7. As reflected in the financial report accompanying the Receivers most recent report filed on concurrently with this Motion and reattached here as Exhibit A, during the Third Interim Period, the Receiver collected net funds totaling $3,059,696.32 before Receivers fees and expenses, including legal fees. 8. Accordingly, the Receiver has more than sufficient funds to pay the professional fees and expenses, including legal fees, requested herein from assets recovered pursuant to the Receivership Order, without needing to draw on the Escrow Account. Indeed, even after applying all professional fees and expenses sought here, as of May 31, 2014, the receivership estate has a net balance of approximately $5.2 million, excluding an additional $1.1 million in credit card reserve accounts. OVERVIEW OF RECEIVERS ACTIVITIES AND FEES
9. During the Third Interim Period, the Receiver continued its management of Trudeau Entities, including the Global Information Network (GIN), conducted a sale process Case: 1:03-cv-03904 Document #: 865 Filed: 07/07/14 Page 3 of 13 PageID #:15742 GIN Network Truth (the smart group) 4
to liquidate the GIN Club assets, real property located in Ojai, California, and certain personal property belonging to Trudeau and certain of the Trudeau Entities. 10. The Receiver has maintained detailed records of the billable time it has devoted to this matter and for which it is now seeking authority to pay. Attached as Exhibits B, C, D, E, and F to this application are comprehensive invoices for January 2014, February 2014, March 2014, April 2014, and May 2014, prepared by the Receiver (and redacted for privilege) setting forth the specific tasks performed and the time spent performing those tasks by the Receivers timekeepers. The Receiver also prepared and submitted status reports on January 28, 2014 [Dkt. # 815] and March 17, 2014 [Dkt. # 841], and motions seeking the sale of certain real and personal property on February 18, 2014 [Dkt. #824] and April 28, 2014 [Dkt. #852] further detailing its activities and investigation during the Third Interim Period. As reflected in more detail in its invoices and reports to the Court, the Receiver provides the following overview of its activities during the Second Interim Period: 11. The Receiver has continued to manage the Trudeau Entities, including the Global Information Network (GIN). As part of those duties, the Receiver oversees and coordinates with GINs management and employees regarding various routine operational issues, including accounting functions. During early 2014, the Receiver completed its work with GINs management to restructure GINs membership and marketing program, including the implementation of a new Members Reward Program and GIN Leadership Counsel. The Receiver also addressed and resolved various claims asserted against the Trudeau Entities, including a lawsuit by a former vendor over a pre-receivership debt as well as employee wage claims. The Receiver also has reviewed claims and communicated with various current and former GIN members regarding pre-receivership incentive programs offered by GIN. Case: 1:03-cv-03904 Document #: 865 Filed: 07/07/14 Page 4 of 13 PageID #:15743 GIN Network Truth (the smart group) 5
12. During the Third Interim Period, the Receiver monitored and attempted to ameliorate the negative impact to GIN Club operations of communications by the lead proposed intervenor to GIN Club members regarding his efforts to establish a competing club and misinformation regarding the Receivers management of the GIN Club. In January 2014, the Receiver prepared and filed a sur-reply opposing the motion to intervene to address new allegations regarding the Receivers management of the GIN Club raised by the proposed intervenors in their reply. 13. During the Third Interim Period, the Receiver conducted a sale process to seek a buyer for the assets of the GIN Club. As part of such process, the Receiver communicated with potential purchasers, including monitoring and addressing communications to GIN Members by various third parties competing to take over GIN Club or to establish competing clubs. Once a buyer was identified, the Receiver proceeded to negotiate an asset purchase agreement structured to minimize future liability to the receivership estate while obtaining material value for largely intangible assets. As part of the due diligence phase, the Receiver also conducted an investigation into the status of various copyrights and trademarks registered to the Trudeau Entities. Finally, the Receiver worked with counsel to obtain Court approval for such sale, including establishing notice procedures and, in turn, providing notice of the sale to thousands of GIN members, vendors and other known creditors of GIN. 14. Further, in connection with the sale of the GIN Clubs assets, the Receiver also worked with its counsel to reject the office lease for GINs offices located in Westmont, Illinois. 15. The Receiver also completed the sale of certain real property located in Ojai, California that previously served as Trudeaus California residence (though owned by one of the Trudeau Entities). In addition to the usual negotiations with the buyer, the Receiver also had to Case: 1:03-cv-03904 Document #: 865 Filed: 07/07/14 Page 5 of 13 PageID #:15744 GIN Network Truth (the smart group) 6
address a number of additional issues arising from the unique circumstances of this case to successfully close the sale. The Receiver investigated and resolved issues related to a purported lien arising from a previous line of credit to Trudeau or one of the Trudeau Entities that clouded title of the Ojai real property. Although the Receiver resolved the lien issue favorably, doing so required additional work by the Receiver and its counsel because the purported lien holder had become insolvent and the nominal lienholders assets (including any lien on the Ojai real property) had been transferred en mass to its warehouse lender, without any corresponding recording filed with the appropriate recorders office. Further, the title company underwriting the sale raised a number of issues requiring response and negotiation by the Receiver regarding the sale of the property, including concerns regarding the jurisdiction of the court to compel the sale. 16. During the Third Interim Period, the Receiver also sought and obtained Court approval to sell certain personal property located at the Ojai real property and in Trudeaus former residence in Oak Brook, Illinois. The Receiver worked with its auctioneer to conduct the sale of personal property in Ojai, which resulted in over $70,000 of net proceeds to the receivership estate. In connection with such sale, the Receiver also negotiated and resolved personal exemption claims by Trudeau. 17. The Receiver reviewed claims of the owner of the Oak Brook residential property previously rented to Kevin Trudeau through one of the Trudeau Entities and coordinated through counsel to address such claims. 18. The Receiver continued investigating various overseas accounts held by Trudeau or the Trudeau entities, including working with Trudeaus counsel to compel the turnover funds Case: 1:03-cv-03904 Document #: 865 Filed: 07/07/14 Page 6 of 13 PageID #:15745 GIN Network Truth (the smart group) 7
in such accounts. As a result, during the Third Interim Period, funds totaling $86,838.69 were recovered by the receivership from the William Hill account and Migros Bank. 19. The Receiver reviewed and analyzed banking records from the various institutions holding past or present accounts for Trudeau or the Trudeau Entities. The Receiver coordinated with its counsel to issue subpoenas for additional bank records of third parties. As a result of these efforts among other things, during the Third Interim Period, the Receiver recovered $21,181.24 from accounts held at Banco Popular, Pershing LLC, and Northern Trust. In addition, in January 2014, the Receiver also recovered the $22,000 previously paid to Mr. Trudeaus tax attorneys in violation of the Courts order. 20. The Receiver also continued to attempt to coordinate with Mr. Lee Kenny and other Trudeau associates regarding the overseas Trudeau Entities and related firms, including GIN FDN, Website Solutions Switzerland, Global Sales Solution, Future Transactions Company, and Office Pool. 21. As part of its investigation, the Receiver became aware of forensic images taken of laptops used by Neil Sant, in his capacity as a Website Solutions employee that were in the possession and control of former counsel for Website Solutions and Neil Sant. Sant is one of the individuals Trudeau identified as handling all aspects of his financial affairs. During the Third Interim Period, the Receiver successfully sought the turnover of these records requiring extended negotiations with former counsel to address attorney lien claims and asserted Fifth Amendment concerns. 22. The Receiver has also participated in a number of hearings (and corresponding effort to prepare for such hearings) addressing the status of Trudeaus compliance with the Courts orders. In connection with these hearings, the Receiver solicited Trudeaus cooperation, Case: 1:03-cv-03904 Document #: 865 Filed: 07/07/14 Page 7 of 13 PageID #:15746 GIN Network Truth (the smart group) 8
followed up on any new information, prepared pleadings and supplemental reports to the Court, and coordinated its efforts with the FTC. Among other things, at Trudeaus request, the Receiver coordinated a further interview with Trudeau held in early February 2014, and assisted the Receivers counsel to prepare for conducting the interview. 23. The Receiver also worked with the IRS to respond to and its subpoena seeking information regarding the financial affairs of Trudeau and certain of the Trudeau Entities. 24. During the Third Interim Period, the Receivers personnel collectively devoted 1064 hours to this matter (295.5 hours in January 2014, 167.5 hours in February 2014, 264.2 hours in March 2014, 192.3 hours in April 2014, and 144.5 hours in May 2014), incurring fees totaling $239,651.95, for an effective blended rate of approximately $225.24 per hour. The principal members of the Receivers firm and senior associates working on this matter billed at an hourly rate of $301.50. All of the fees charged by the Receiver in this matter reflect a 10% discount from the firms private sector rates. As required by the Receivership Order, the compensation sought in this motion is consistent with the rate structure and terms outlined in Exhibit 1 of the FTCs Statement With Respect to the Appointment of a Receiver [Dkt. #730]. (See Receivership Order XII(2).) 25. In addition to the professional fees sought by the Receiver, the Receiver has also incurred $50,455.79 in out-of-pocket expenses during the five-month Third Interim Period. In addition to the ordinary operational expenses associated with the receivership estate, these expenses include $32,986.84 in March and $8,000 in May associated with obtaining and uploading searchable forensic images from laptops used by Neil Sant. The remaining expenses for which the Receiver seeks reimbursement are as follows: $997.28 for office telephone and supplies; $4,096.09 for postage and delivery expenses; $3,420.74 for travel expenses, $561.50 Case: 1:03-cv-03904 Document #: 865 Filed: 07/07/14 Page 8 of 13 PageID #:15747 GIN Network Truth (the smart group) 9
for other investigative search costs, $42.89 for document reproduction, and $350.45 for website support. OVERVIEW OF LEGAL SERVICES AND FEES
26. Receivers counsel maintained detailed records of the billable time for which the Receiver now seeks authority to pay. Attached as Exhibit G to this Motion is a comprehensive invoice prepared by HWZ (and redacted for privilege) setting forth the specific tasks performed and the time spent performing those tasks by HWZs timekeepers. 27. As reflected in the detailed invoice, during the Third Interim Period, HWZ provided the following services to the Receiver: Prepared, served and prosecuted on the Receivers behalf subpoenas to various financial institutions seeking to locate assets or potential assets of the receivership estate. Conferred and coordinated with parties on behalf of Receiver, including FTC and counsel for Trudeau.

Case: 1:03-cv-03904 Document #: 865 Filed: 07/07/14 Page 9 of 13 PageID #:15748 GIN Network Truth (the smart group) 10
Worked with Receiver to reject Westmont office lease. Assisted the Receiver in resolving issues with internet company regarding transfer of receivership domain address and investigating additional domains owned by receivership entities. Negotiated with former counsel for Website Solutions regarding turnover of forensic image of laptop used by Neil Sant, including resolving attorney lien claim issues and asserted Fifth Amendment issues. Assisted the Receiver in responding to IRS subpoena. Advised the Receiver with respect to claims asserted by former employees under the Illinois Wage Claim Act and coordinated with Illinois Department of labor regarding same. Assisted Receiver in responding to pre-receivership claims by third parties, Advised Receiver regarding responses to various entities asserting claims against receivership estate for pre-receivership obligations, including dismissal of a lawsuit prepared by former vendor. Advised the Receiver concerning its authority and obligations under the Receivership Order. 28. During the five months comprising the Third Interim Period, HWZ expended 272.5 hours on this matter (59.3 hours in January 2014, 72.2 hours in February 2014, 52.3 hours in March 2014, 76 hours in April 2014, and 12.7 hours in May 2014). Blair Zanzig, one of HWZs members, was principally responsible for providing these services. For the services outline above and as detailed in the attached invoices, HWZ has invoiced the Receiver for fees totaling $97,164. For similar matters, Mr. Zanzig ordinarily bills $400 an hour, but in recognition of the interests of consumers in this case, HWZ has agreed to discount such rates by 10%. Thus, HWZs invoice reflects an effect rate of $360 per hour for attorney time. The Receiver believes these rates are comparable, if not less than, those the Receiver has seen in connection with other similar matters. Case: 1:03-cv-03904 Document #: 865 Filed: 07/07/14 Page 10 of 13 PageID #:15749 GIN Network Truth (the smart group) 11
29.

Attached as Exhibit H to this Motion is an invoice prepared by McKenna setting forth the specific tasks performed and the time spent performing those tasks. McKenna expended a limited 34.2 hours on this matter and incurred fees and expenses totaling $18,253.35. In light of the necessary specialized expertise provided by McKenna, the Receiver believes such rates are appropriate and commensurate with the fees charged by McKenna and approved by courts in similar matters. 31. Finally, the Receiver incurred $742.50 in legal fees to Meridian Lawyers, an Australian law firm that has assisted the Receiver in its investigation into financial accounts held by the Trudeau Entities in Australia. WHEREFORE, Receiver respectfully requests the Court enter an Order (a) approving the fees and expenses incurred by the Receiver Robb Evans & Associates LLC for the Third Interim Period in the amount of $290,107.74; (b) approving the legal fees and expenses incurred by Receivers counsel Hiltz Wantuch & Zanzig LLC for the Third Interim Period in the amount of $98,620.45; (c) approving legal fees and expenses incurred by McKenna Long and Aldridge, LLP totaling $18,265.32; (d) approving legal fees incurred by Meridian Lawyers in the Third Case: 1:03-cv-03904 Document #: 865 Filed: 07/07/14 Page 11 of 13 PageID #:15750 GIN Network Truth (the smart group) 12
